[edit] Young Liberals of Canada

Nothing in this article establishes its notability. Wikipedia is not a directory, blog, or free web space.. Delete Ardenn 18:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to Liberal Party of Canada minus the executive list. Per Ardenn at least part of this seems to violate WP:NOT.--Isotope23 18:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and defluff. Mountain of precedent: Cat:Youth wings of political parties by country. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 18:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, I know, these are all up for CfD, but only to rename, not to delete. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 18:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep DJ Clayworth 18:53, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep ample precedent. Important part of national party. --Rob 19:17, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. As above, it is relevant. The first step should be to rewrite, not just delete! --Ckatz 20:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The YLC is hugely relevant to leadership contests, where up to a third of delegates are members of the youth wing. -Joshuapaquin 20:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Crazy Russian. Ground Zero | t 21:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge a junior wing of a party does warrent an article, it could possibly be briefly mentioned in the regular parties national article.--YoungWebster 23:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per crazy russian -pm_shef 00:27, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Wikipedia is designed for exactly this type of info. Deet 02:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Largest political youth org in Canada. Warrants a page. Jamescroft 02:32, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.193.250.227 (talk • contribs).
• Weak Keep. I was surprised by how poor this article is, given that it's allegedly the "largest political youth organization in Canada" (the only claim to notability I could find in the article). However, I'm with Ckatz. Hopefully an editor will tackle this one, and include things like the YLC's role in leadership selection, if that is so (per Joshuapaquin). Things like that are certainly more notable than what policy issues they've debated. If this article can't be improved, then it ought to be merged with Liberal Party of Canada.

• Keep. It's definitely notable.  OZLAWYER  talk  17:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Another flimsy delete request by the renegade User:Ardenn, who is lying about his Wikibreak. Please just leave and stop destroying Wikipedia.--Nick Dillinger 18:10, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The mediation isn't over, can't leave yet. WP:NPA Ardenn 03:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Jamescroft. Arctic Gnome 20:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, the information is definitely notable. --Mhking 22:19, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Highly notable and of measurable national importance. Samaritan 03:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per isotope23 Admrb♉ltz (t • c • log) 03:31, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but it could really use some work to justify the break from the main Liberal article. --JGGardiner 04:30, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Although I voted against articles on the organization's individual executive members, the organization itself is certainly notable enough. Keep. Bearcat 17:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable organization. --Skeezix1000 21:20, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep CJCurrie 02:54, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
